2024 | Documentary | Hindi | 8 mins.
Through the dug up streets of suburban Mumbai, a migrant salesman, Taufique walks everyday with a bicycle filled with bread, eggs and snacks. This film journeys with him and his colleagues as they walk through chawls and gated societies, beneath metro constructions and through unyielding traffic, revealing a glimpse of a Mumbai where walking is not a choice but a necessity.
The film expands into a quiet reflection on urban design and social division, questioning who our cities are truly built for. We see others like Taufique walking on Mumbai’s streets, on journeys marked by labour, resilience and quiet strength.
The film tries to notice the presence of those forced to move on foot as they reclaim agency, in a city that often makes them invisible.
